Jatinga rejoices as rare Tiger Bittern returns after 9 years

Guwahati, Nov 10: The hills of Jatinga in Assam, renowned for their annual spectacle of migratory birds, are abuzz with excitement this season. After a nine-year absence, the rare and elusive tiger bittern has returned, marking a significant milestone in the region’s ongoing conservation initiatives.

Known for its striking appearance and distinctive call, the tiger bittern’s return has captivated both the local community and bird enthusiasts worldwide. Its presence not only enriches Jatinga’s biodiversity but also serves as a testament to the area’s thriving ecosystem.

This year’s bird migration celebration holds special significance. The reappearance of the tiger bittern symbolizes the dedication and concerted efforts of Jatinga’s residents toward species revival and environmental conservation. Local initiatives aimed at preserving natural habitats have evidently fostered conditions favorable for the return of such rare species.

The Chief Minister’s office, through a tweet on its official ‘X’ handle, lauded the community’s unwavering commitment to habitat preservation. “The people of Jatinga have once again proven that local conservation initiatives can lead to the revival of nature’s wonders,” the tweet read. It emphasized that this year’s events not only offer a spectacular sight but also highlight the profound impact of collective efforts in protecting the environment.
